Crude Birth Rate

The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is a demographic measure that indicates the number of live births in a population per 1,000 people in a year. It is often used to assess population growth and understand demographic trends in different regions. A higher CBR suggests a young and growing population, while a lower CBR may indicate aging or declining populations. CBR is crucial for policymakers and researchers to address issues like resource allocation, healthcare, and education planning based on population dynamics. However, it doesn’t account for age distribution or other factors influencing birth rates.
